Abstract
The invention provides a method, system, and program product for managing a connection. In particular, the invention manages connection information in memory based on an expected usage of the corresponding connection. Connection information can be stored in faster memory, such as cache memory, when the connection is expected to have numerous additional messages. Similarly, the connection information for a connection not expected to have many additional messages can be swapped out of the cache memory and stored in relatively slower memory. As a result, the connection information that is more frequently used is more likely to be available in a faster memory.
Claims22
A method of managing a connection, the method comprising:
- obtaining connection information for the connection;
- determining an expected usage for the connection;
- and
- managing the connection information in memory based on the expected usage.
A connection management system, comprising:
- a connection system that obtains connection information for a connection;
- a usage system that determines an expected usage for the connection;
- and
- a storage system that manages the connection information in memory based on the expected usage.
A computer program product comprising a computer useable medium having computer readable program code embodied therein for managing a connection, the program product comprising:
- program code configured to obtain connection information for the connection;
- program code configured to determine an expected usage for the connection;
- and
- program code configured to manage the connection information in memory based on the expected usage.
